Terms of service
How we work, what you get, what it costs and who owns it. Written to be read rather than to be hidden behind.
Who these terms are with
These terms cover work carried out by Magnimont (“we”, “us”) for a client (“you”). They apply alongside whatever proposal or statement of work we agree; where the two disagree, the signed proposal wins.

Scope and changes
Every engagement starts with a written scope: what we are building, what you are providing, and when. That document is the reference point for the whole project.
Work outside it is not refused, it is re-quoted. If you ask for something new mid-project we will tell you what it costs and what it moves before we start, never after.
What we need from you
Projects stall on content and decisions far more often than on code. We need copy, assets, access to systems, and answers within a reasonable time of asking.
Where a delay on your side pushes the timeline, the timeline moves. Extended delays may mean re-scheduling into a later slot, because the team will have been committed elsewhere.
Payment
Unless the proposal says otherwise, a deposit is payable before work starts and the balance on completion. Larger projects are invoiced in stages against agreed milestones.
- Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice.
- Quoted prices exclude taxes and third-party costs — hosting, domains, licences, stock assets — which are billed at cost or paid by you directly.
- We may pause work on materially overdue invoices, having told you first.
Who owns what
On final payment, the deliverables we create specifically for you become yours — the designs, the code written for your project, and the content we produce.
We keep ownership of our own pre-existing tools, libraries and internal components, and grant you a licence to keep using them as part of your project. Third-party software keeps its own licence.
Showing the work
We may show completed work in our portfolio, deck and social channels unless you ask us not to. If a project is sensitive, tell us and it stays off everything — no name, no screenshot, no mention.
Confidentiality
Anything you share that is not public stays between us, and the same applies in reverse. This continues after the project ends. It does not cover information that is already public or that we are legally required to disclose.
Warranty and support
We fix defects in our own work, reported within the period stated in your proposal, at no charge.
That does not cover new features, changes you make yourself, or breakage caused by third-party services and platform updates outside our control. Ongoing maintenance is available as a separate retainer.
Liability
We deliver with reasonable skill and care, but we do not accept liability for indirect or consequential losses — lost profit, lost data, lost business. Our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees you paid for it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
Ending an engagement
Either side can end a project in writing. You pay for work completed and costs already committed up to that point; we hand over what has been paid for. Confidentiality and ownership terms survive.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], and disputes are subject to the courts of [jurisdiction]. We would rather sort it out on a call first, and usually do.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms for future work. The version that applies to your project is the one in force when we agreed it. See also our privacy policy and cookie policy.
